Error description
If goentdd kernel extension is loaded: Each run of sysdumpdev -e will show an ever increasing value, this leads other utilities which depend on it to think the dump device is too small and start logging errors in the errlog.
Local fix

sysdumpdev -e estimate grows infinitely larger with each run
Problem conclusion
Code change has been made to store the dump estimate size in a non static variable.
Temporary fix
